    Lime and Raspberry Mimosas

    Published: Feb 28, 2022 · Modified: May 29, 2022 ·

    Bath and Body Works, or as I like to call it "The Candle Store," used to sell a raspberry mimosa candle that smelled like a refreshing spring day and constantly left me wondering, "What does a raspberry mimosa taste like?" It has been COLD here in Northern Virginia, so last weekend on an especially dreary winter day, I set out to find the answer to that question. These lime and raspberry mimosas have the same citrus hints that regular mimosas do, but the raspberries add a special sweet tanginess that makes them taste extra special. They're the perfect addition to a spring or summer brunch and come together in a snap. They'd also be great served in a punchbowl with some raspberry sorbet thrown in.

    Your raspberry mimosa shopping list:

    Ingredients

    • Raspberries. We recommend fresh, but if you use frozen, let them thaw prior to using.
    • Lime. We recommend a fresh lime. If you roll the lime prior to juicing it, it'll provide more juice.
    • Sparkling wine or champagne. Brut (or dry) sparkling wines work well. We pick up the cheapest option at Trader Joe's. You don't need anything fancy or expensive.
    • Orange juice. We prefer no pulp.

    Kitchen tools

    • A blender or food processor for pureeing the raspberries.
    • A citrus juicer for the lime juice.
    • A fine mesh strainer to get the seeds out of the raspberry puree.

    Here's how you make this mimosa.

    This raspberry mimosa comes together quickly in two easy steps.

    1. Puree the raspberries.

      Add the raspberries, orange juice, and lime juice to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl, then transfer the raspberry puree to the strainer. Use the back of a spoon to press the puree into the strainer until all of the puree/juice is separated from the seeds. Discard the seeds. This is a picture of raspberries in a fine mesh strainer.

    2. Make the drinks!

      Fill half of each serving glass with the puree/juice mixture, then top each one off with sparkling wine (the juice/puree and sparkling wine should be added at a 1-1 ratio). This recipe made about two drinks for us, but that will vary based on the size of your glasses.

    Lime and Raspberry Mimosas: FAQs

    Can I make this mimosa into a mocktail?

    Of course! Replace the sparkling wine with Sprite, ginger ale, or tonic water for a sparkling component without the alcohol. It still tastes great!

    Can I serve this mimosa in a punchbowl?

    Sure! This recipe serves about 2 people, so take the number of people you're serving divided by 2 and multiply each ingredient by that number. Add everything to a punch bowl and serve with a ladle. To make it extra special, add a few scoops of raspberry sorbet to keep it cool.

    How do I make this ahead of time for a group?

    Like I said above, this recipe serves about 2 people. To serve a bigger group, take the number of people you're serving divided by 2 and multiply each ingredient by that number. To make this ahead of time, make the raspberry puree/juice mixture and store it in a covered container in the fridge. Don't open or add the sparkling wine until you're ready to serve.
